By visiting our Site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy and the accompanying Terms of Use.

In this Privacy Policy, the words “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Moda Operandi.

Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Data
Moda Operandi may store non-personally identifiable information or it may be included in databases owned and maintained by Moda Operandi’s affiliates, agents or service providers. This Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.
